How to Sketch a Razor Using 3 Simple Drawing Tools

Kicking off the Yo! C77 Sketch Series with Michael DiTullo

Today I'm showing a simple concept sketch technique using just three drawing tools: a Bic ballpoint pen, a Sharpie, and a white Prismacolor pencil. I use this technique on products that have a strong material contrast story. It really shows off part breaks well. The subject here is a men's razor. Give it a watch and let me know what you think. If you have any questions about what I did, or have any suggestions for future videos, just let me know in the comments below below!

Yo! C77 Sketch is a monthly video series from Core77 forum moderator and prolific designer, Michael DiTullo. In these tutorials, DiTullo walks you through step by step rapid visualization and ideation techniques to improve your everyday skills. Tired of that guy in the studio who always gets his ideas picked because of his hot sketches? Learn how to beat him at his own game, because the only thing worse than a bad idea sketched well is a great idea sketched poorly.

For more than 20 years Michael has been designing iconic products and brand experiences for some of the best brands in the world including Nike, Google, Motorola, Honda, and Hasbro. Located a block from the Pacific Ocean in San Diego, his studio focuses on industry leading halo projects across autonomous automotive, consumer electronics, travel, mobile devices, wearables, toys and conceptual Hollywood entertainment projects.

If you have the chance, would you be able to post a real time video? It's always good just to watch and absorb some tacit technique such as line stroke speed, position and those practice / air strokes.
